The show's host, Tyra Banks, kicked off the announcement of the results by revealing that the five acts who have garnered the most votes overnight will automatically go straight to the semifinals, leaving the seven other contestants in limbo.
However, the first names she announced were the ones who placed sixth, seventh, and eighth in the vote count. They were to be eligible for the Dunkin' Save, which is a live votation that gets the contestants with the most votes to advance to the next round.
